今天，我们来复盘一场万众瞩目的压轴大戏：世界杯决赛，西班牙在加时赛中一比零绝杀阿根廷，时隔十六年，第二次将大力神杯高高举起。
Today, let's break down the eagerly awaited grand finale: the World Cup final, where Spain snatched a one-to-zero win over Argentina in extra time, lifting the trophy for the second time, sixteen years on.
这不仅是本届世界杯的收官之战，更是一场关于统治力与坚韧的终极较量。
This was not only the closing game of this World Cup, but a final contest of dominance and resilience.
先说说赛前的背景。
First, the background going in.
阿根廷，是上一届世界杯的卫冕冠军，队中还有那位传奇巨星梅西坐镇。
Argentina are the defending champions from the last World Cup, with the legendary superstar Messi anchoring the side.
对无数球迷来说，这很可能是梅西职业生涯的最后一届世界杯，他渴望以一座冠军，为自己的传奇画上句号。
For countless fans, this may well be the last World Cup of Messi's career, and he yearned to cap his legend with one more title.
而他们的对手西班牙，则是近年来最具统治力的球队之一，一心想要问鼎世界之巅。
Their opponents Spain, meanwhile, are one of the most dominant teams of recent years, set on conquering the summit of world soccer.
好，让我们回到新泽西的这个夜晚，走进这场决赛。
Alright, let's return to this night in New Jersey and step into the final.
如果用一个词来形容这场比赛，那就是一边倒。
If one word could describe this game, it would be "one-sided."
从开场哨响的那一刻起，西班牙便牢牢地掌控了比赛的一切。
From the moment the opening whistle blew, Spain firmly controlled everything about the match.
他们用行云流水般的传控，一次又一次地冲击着阿根廷的球门，全场射门多达二十次。
With flowing possession, they battered the Argentina goal again and again, taking as many as twenty shots.
而反观阿根廷，在长达一百二十分钟的时间里，竟然只有区区两脚射门，几乎构不成任何威胁。
Argentina, by contrast, managed a mere two shots across a full hundred and twenty minutes, posing almost no threat.
然而，比赛的过程却远比比分要惊心动魄。
Yet the game itself was far more gripping than the score suggested.
因为在阿根廷的球门前，站着一位神挡杀神的门将——马丁内斯。
Because in front of Argentina's goal stood a goalkeeper who stopped everything — Martínez.
这位老将今晚仿佛被神明附体，独自一人做出了多达十一次扑救，创下了世界杯决赛单场扑救的新纪录。
The veteran seemed possessed tonight, single-handedly making as many as eleven saves, a new single-game record for a World Cup final.
正是凭借他一次又一次不可思议的神扑，阿根廷才在西班牙的狂轰滥炸下，将比分顽强地保持在零比零。
It was precisely his repeated, unbelievable stops that kept Argentina at zero-zero under Spain's relentless bombardment.
就在常规时间行将结束之际，赛场上风云突变。
As regular time was about to end, the situation on the pitch suddenly turned.
阿根廷中场核心恩佐，因为对库巴尔西的一次犯规，两黄变一红，被直接罚出了场外。
Argentina's midfield linchpin Enzo, after a foul on Cubarsí, turned two yellows into a red and was sent straight off.
少了一人的阿根廷，只能以十人之姿，苦苦支撑。
A man down, Argentina could only dig in and hold on with ten.
九十分钟战罢，双方依旧零比零，比赛被拖入了残酷的加时赛。
After ninety minutes, still deadlocked at zero-zero, the game was dragged into a cruel period of extra time.
而真正的转折，出现在加时赛的下半段。
And the real turning point came in the second half of extra time.
替补登场的托雷斯，在第一百零六分钟，成为了那位一锤定音的英雄。
Substitute Torres, in the hundred and sixth minute, became the hero who settled it for good.
波罗将球轻轻挑向后点，威廉姆斯高高跃起，一记头球摆渡，托雷斯迎着落点，一脚势大力沉的凌空抽射，将球狠狠地砸进了网窝。
Porro gently lifted the ball to the back post, Williams rose high to head it across, and Torres met the drop with a fierce volley that smashed into the net.
一比零，西班牙终于在最后的关头，打破了那令人窒息的僵局。
One to zero, Spain finally broke the suffocating deadlock at the last.
最终，西班牙便凭借着这粒价值连城、金子般的进球，一比零赢下了整届世界杯。
In the end, Spain won the entire World Cup one to zero on that priceless, golden goal.
那么，这座冠军的背后，究竟意味着什么？
So, what lies behind this title?
对西班牙而言，这是一座实至名归、无可争议的冠军。
For Spain, this is a thoroughly deserved, indisputable championship.
整届赛事的八场比赛，他们仅仅只丢了一个球，创下了世界杯历史上冠军球队失球最少的纪录。
Across the tournament's eight games, they conceded just a single goal, a World Cup record for the fewest allowed by a champion.
这支球队既有华丽的进攻，又有坚不可摧的防守，攻守兼备，堪称完美。
This team has both dazzling attack and an impregnable defense, sound at both ends, near perfect.
一个真正属于西班牙的黄金时代，或许正在轰然拉开序幕。
A golden era truly belonging to Spain may be bursting into view.
而对于阿根廷，以及梅西而言，倒在冠军的门前，无疑是苦涩而令人动容的。
And for Argentina, and Messi, falling at the very door of the title is bitter and deeply moving.
他们已经拼尽了最后一丝气力，门将马丁内斯更是几乎凭一己之力，将球队扛到了最后，只可惜，命运终究没有再一次垂青他们。
They had already given every last ounce of strength, and keeper Martínez almost carried the team to the end by himself, but fate, in the end, did not favor them once more.
但那位老门将今夜的表现，那份不屈的斗志，同样值得所有人尊敬。
Yet that old keeper's display tonight, and that unyielding fighting spirit, deserve everyone's respect all the same.
这就是西班牙一比零阿根廷，一场足以载入史册的世界杯决赛，一个属于西班牙的伟大夜晚。
That's Spain one to zero Argentina, a World Cup final for the history books, and a great night belonging to Spain.
我们下次再会。
See you next time.
所有人都在关注。这是一场万众瞩目的决赛。
在最后时刻进球、直接赢下比赛。托雷斯在加时赛绝杀阿根廷。
形容门将极其神勇，挡住一切射门。马丁内斯今晚神挡杀神。
疯狂而密集地进攻。阿根廷顶住了西班牙的狂轰滥炸。
局势突然发生巨大变化。常规时间快结束时，赛场风云突变。
非常牢固，无法被攻破。西班牙有一条坚不可摧的防线。
凭真本事获得，名副其实。西班牙的这座冠军实至名归。
